1.3.0 AIMS
The primary aims/goals of the design are as follows:
to provide/design a suitable passenger terminal building in the Makurdi Airport which would potray a good image of Benue State
to
provde a passenger terminal building as well as other auxilliary
facilities with the necessary tools requisite for air transportation
activities as well as upgrade the economic facet of Makurdi city.
to
ensure these facilities will streamline the productivity in the airport
without interruption or interference from each other or any source; and
to provide a design that will adequately contain all the kinds of
functions and activities associated with air travel to be carried out in
the airport which will be expanded for this purpose.
1.4.0 OBJECTIVES
The
principal objective of this project is to provide Makurdi Airport with a
ultra-modern, befitting and function passenger airport terminal
building which has been badly absent since the construction of that
airport and also to upgrade the landscape around it and prescribe other
salient facilities which have been omitted.
In appreciation of the particular demands of the project, I opt;
To
situate the structure in an ideal location that easily catches eye
sight from around the environment and can be easily accessible to staff,
air travellers, as well as visitors;
To ensure good road network that create easy flow of vehicular and human traffic;
To consider the environmental consequences as far as they are not a detriment to the proposed development.
To
minimise costs by putting construction techniques, and employing
materials within the level of technology that is commensurate with our
national aspiration.
To ensure flexibility and adaptability for future changes in use of facilities or space;
To ensure efficient security within and around the facility premises;
To
ensure the terminal building, the parking lots and other auxilliary
facilities are strategically placed for easy accessibilty from one to
the others;
1.5.0 RESEARCH METHODOLGY
The required information
for proper planning and design of a domestic passenger terminal that
will raise the quality and standard of the Makurdi Airport will be
obtained through primary data; direct interviews with personnel or
representatives of existing airports in Nigeria which basically are FAAN
officials, porters on the airport grounds and locals residing around
the airport vicinity, case studies, library research, and internet
surfing. The emerging ideas and opinions or results are manually
organized. On site physical survey will reveal the statistical data
inherent of the site venue and will be gainfully utilized.
1.6.0 PROJECT MOTIVATION
The
Federal Government of Nigeria has, in recent times, moved a motion for
the rebranding of the Aviation Industry to upgrade the facilities within
airports owned by the Federal Government as well as check the
activities of private parastatals within the Aviation Industry.
Previously, the airports in the Federation have been either dilapidated
or grounded that no aviation activities take place in such airports. It
is to this end that the Federal Government has moved to build or
renovate existing terminal facilities in the airports within the
federation listed below:
Enugu Airport (re-christened Akanu Ibiam International Airport), Enugu, Enugu State;
Gen. Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos, Plateau State;
Nnamdi 999Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory;
Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, Imo State;
Makurdi Airport, Makurdi, Benue State
